Last school year at the SRSS, I was involved in a science club with grade 11 and 12 students that became known as Explore Science. The club’s goals were simple – expand science interest in early years by conducting hands-on, engaging science activities with a group of early years learners. The content that students used…
As we approached the final week of our semester, I challenged myself with the idea of making a table-sized Nintendo game controller to engage students with something new and possibly cool!? “Now that’s hard to believe…Mr. Clement = Cool?

There is a movement in our school to get away from clumped units and percentage marks, and move to a scaled number. This of course looks a little different in each classroom. While…
When I started working at the SRSS, I was excited to be part of a learning environment that offered such a wide array of courses. I thought of the amazing opportunity I would have to collaborate with teachers in different subject areas. I had developed a wonderful picture in my mind of teachers gathering together…
Watching and participating in theatre-based activities offers students tremendous opportunities for personal growth. In this fall’s edition of SRSS Innovation Week, I invited comedian Matt Falk to perform for our ELA students with a focus on storytelling. Mr. Falk relies on the openness and vulnerability of his audience in order to experience a successful set.…
Have you ever been to the opera? Seen a foreign film? Taken in a play? The Art and Language departments at the SRSS are doing all of the above! We know not all students are able to fit Spanish, Band, Dance, Choir, Drama, Art or French into their schedules. There are so many options out…
